Diplomas Typed in Ink Spark Public Adm Reform
The registrier Hoffman speeds diploma work by laying out 20 to 30 at once and then starting new batches. Names are inscribed in Old English style with no ruled lines or pencil marks, inking them directly. An earlier count notes a single diploma number since 1922 would stretch 12 miles if laid end to end, or form a 27 foot high stack.
